{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: to bring to remembrance.} Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, hasten to my help.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
